Alexandr

Tap to rate

Schilling's flagship and, by many accounts, the best beer in New Hampshire. Glows golden in the glass with a big frothy head; the first sip is smooth and almost creamy, with bright lemon and Saltine-cracker notes giving way to an herbal, grassy finish. Easy to drink, but layered enough to reward attention — the brewery's defining beer.

◌ Aroma

The nose opens with clean, bright lemon citrus notes that immediately announce themselves. Beneath sits a subtle malty sweetness paired with herbal and grassy undertones from noble-variety Edelhopfen, creating a composed and inviting profile. The overall aromatics are restrained and focused, avoiding any yeasty or fermentation-derived character.

◐ Taste

The palate enters smooth and almost creamy, with Saltine-cracker maltiness providing a savory, bready foundation. Mid-palate reveals soft herbal and grassy notes that integrate seamlessly with gentle, restrained bitterness. The beer maintains excellent balance throughout, with no sharp edges or overwhelming elements—structure comes from harmony rather than intensity.
